Bright Sword Military System

When organizing this fleet, Ozawa Jisaburo encountered a problem: although there were three aircraft carriers that could carry a total of 120 carrier-based aircraft, the empire was already in dire need of carrier-based aircraft at this time.

Especially the "Zero War", there are only more than [-] aircraft left in the entire empire including those just produced.

There are currently only 10 newly produced "Type 2 (Gale)" carrier-based fighter jets to replace the "Zero War": 7 prototypes, 1 verification machines, and [-] production machine.

The performance of this "Type-639" Gale fighter is indeed good, it can reach a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

But Ozawa Jisaburo thought about it for a long time and finally did not intend to put the "Gale" fighter into combat.

Chief of Staff Sueo Hayashi asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, our army has such excellent fighter aircraft, and the hangar of the 'Taiho' aircraft carrier is specially designed for this fighter aircraft. Why not bring them with us? Could it be that we don't bring them with us?" Lieutenant General, are you confident?"

Ozawa Jisaburo shook his head and replied: "Obayashi-kun, do you know what kind of fighter planes the North China Front is supporting us?"

"Of course I know!" Suohiong Obayashi replied: "It's the "Hast" fighter jet of the Army Aviation Group!"

"How does 'Fire Wind' compare to 'High Wind'?" Ozawa Jizaburo asked again.

This is equivalent to explaining the reason for not carrying the "Gale Wind". Obayashi Suexiong nodded slightly: "The performance of the two fighters is not much different. With the 'Gale Wind' cover, there is indeed no need for the 'Gale Wind'!"

Ozawa Jisaburo straightened up and looked at the map and said: "We are going to China this time to conduct a landing operation! Therefore, we should lead ship explosions instead of ship battles!"

This is common sense in combat. Bombers can coordinate well with the army in ship-to-ship combat. Fighters can also be used in ship-to-ship combat, but their equipment is machine guns and cannons. They can only dive and straf infantry, which is not that interesting.

Sueo Obayashi said with a hint of embarrassment: "But Lieutenant General, our army's ship bombs are also seriously insufficient. There are only more than ten at the moment..."

Obayashi Sueo was talking about the latest "Meteor" ship bomb equipped by the Japanese to the "Dafeng".

The speed of this bomber even exceeds that of the "Zero War" at 566 kilometers per hour, and its biggest advantage is that its production is relatively simple and suitable for mass production.

However, because the Japanese sent all the technicians to the battlefield to make domestic production inefficient, only 114 of this bomber were produced throughout World War II.

"No, we don't need the 'Meteor' ship blast either!" Ozawa Jisaburo looked up at Sueo Obayashi and said, "Go and re-recruit all the 97 ship blasts used for training or decommissioning to join the fleet!"

"Ship 97 exploded?" Obayashi Suohiong's eyes widened in disbelief: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, these fighters may not be able to withstand the intensity of combat due to lack of maintenance..."

"Then let them fight!" Ozawa Jisaburo interrupted Obayashi Sueo: "Our craftsmen are still capable of repairing this ship, right?"

"Yes!" Obayashi Suohiong didn't dare to say anything else, he responded and went down to prepare.

Therefore, the fleet organized by Ozawa is somewhat "retro". Its carrier-based aircraft are the "Zero War" and "97 Ship Explosion" in the early days of World War II.

But Ozawa Jisaburo's decision was correct.

He knows who his opponent is and what he is fighting for.

They went to China not to fight Eagle Jiang nor "Hell Cats", but to fight "Wild Cats" of the Eighth Route Army. Their main purpose was not to fight against enemy warships but to land.

Even if we encounter the Eighth Route Army fleet at sea, what role can less than ten "Gale" fighter jets play?

The landing operation is more about the fleet bombing the hinterland and depth of the Eighth Route Army.For bombing missions, there won't be much difference between "Meteor" and "97 Ship Explosion"!
As for air supremacy, if the Army Aviation's "Gate" cannot win, then the fleet will have nothing to do.

Jisaburo Ozawa is a little worried. The reason why Tokyo asked him to form a fleet to launch a landing operation against China at this time may not be simple...

Isn't this a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
That is to say, landing operations are used to attract the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes and main forces to the direction of Huludao, and then the Kwantung Army can effectively attack Ping'an Village and Xinjing.

But when he thought about it, Ozawa sighed: This is not the first time that he has been tasked as a bait, so what if he does it one more time?
What's more, for the sake of Ping An Village's oil, he had to jump into it even if he knew it was a pit of fire.

The "97 Ship Attacks" were quickly collected. Ozawa performed simple maintenance on these ship bombs and then hoisted them one by one onto the aircraft carrier.

Then a fleet including three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and seven destroyers sailed toward China.

Wang Xuexin on the other side soon received information about the discovery of the Japanese fleet.

The information was provided by Yingjiang.

Although Yingjiang's attitude towards the Eighth Route Army at this time has changed slightly, the overall strategic direction of defeating the Japs has never changed... The Japs are the common enemy of both.

Sun Erwei reminded Wang Xuexin on the phone: "Wang, our submarine has discovered a huge fleet heading towards you. It has three aircraft carriers and more than ten warships. It is probably to reinforce the Kwantung Army!"

Wang Xuexin expressed his gratitude to Sun Erwei, and then found the approximate location of the Japanese Navy on the map.

Chen Songyong was a little strange: "Why are the Japanese joint fleet coming to join in the fun at this time? Consume our army's fuel?"

This is indeed an option.

Not long ago, the stubborn army blocked and controlled the Yumen Oilfield, and the fuel supply in Yingjiang was also cut off. The Japanese may receive some information.

As soon as the Japanese joint fleet is dispatched, the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment will respond.

Once the coastal defense regiment moves, the consumption of fuel cannot be ignored for the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not need to worry about this, because at this time, the oil shipped from Mao Xiong had been continuously passing through Chifeng and then to Fengtian and entered the refinery. At the other end, various fuels were produced.

But Wang Xuexin believed that this was not the purpose of the Japanese.

"The Japanese don't have much fuel!" Wang Xuexin said: "They will use such a huge fleet to fight against our army... If their purpose is just to consume our army's fuel, it will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to themselves. There is not much Big meaning!”

"Is that...the Coastal Defense Regiment?" Chen Songyong asked again: "Are you here to avenge the last failure?"

Wang Xuexin shook his head again.

The defeat of the Japanese is already very common. If they want to avenge their shame, they should turn to Ying Jiang!

"I think the focus of the Japs is Ping'an Village!" Wang Xuexin pointed to the location of Ping'an Village on the map and said: "The oil in Ping'an Village can be said to be the life-saving straw of the Japs. Therefore, no matter what action or military branch, it is based on Ping'an Village's location. Oil is the target!”
